Buckingham Palace, Britannia Empire.
On the same day when Alexander announced to Sevastian his plan to unveil a classified project of launching sputnik into space. Diana Rosemary Edinburgh received a letter of notification from the Prime Minister of the Britannia Empire.
It read: [Your Royal Highness, urgent news has been reported by the Ruthenian Embassy inviting all head-of-states, including the reigning monarchs to watch a Ruthenian announcement on the television that will be broadcast at three o'clock in the afternoon.]
Diana folded the letter she just read and set aside her cup of tea. She took a sip, pondering what Ruthenia is going to share with the world.
Considering what was happening in the Far East right now where the Han Dynasty announced its abdication and initiated peace talks with the Nationalists and Communist Party, this month wasn't the perfect time to announce something.
